I don't think that's fair. There was a LOT of freedom in Dishonored.It just so happened that if they built it, they expected that you'd try to use it and gave you a little script to go with it.Just cause the developers covered all the bases, doesn't necessarily mean there's less freedom to the game.People often make the comparison to Thief, but I mean jesus, that game wasn't an open field either. You still had to take specific routes to get where you had to be.
